Archelao is not the most reliable and carries a penalty for his recent victory over a mile at this track. Attain went close at Kempton but is still without a win in 20 outings while Brown Pete hit form at this time last year and won a division of this race. Quadriga has yet to prove he stays this far, but PETERSBODEN made the frame over course and distance in November and he gets a token vote to come good again in this. The Wonga Coup could prove best of the rest.
